Bisbee, Lowell, Warren, Don Luis and all adjacent suburbs of the District SNOWBOUND ! It's a fact. A way back in the da ys when the coyotes and the bobcats were the sole watchers of the weather in these parts, some such tempest of snow as imposed -a thralldom of white during the past forty-eight hours may have gripped what is now the Warren District. But the oldest pioneer in these parts cannot recall a storm equal to the present. It came silently but oppressively in the night. It worked a transformation which amazed the thousands of residents of the district when they woke up yesterday and looked forth upon a scene unparalleled locally. It was as if all the cotton crops of the South, gathering up their stores of fluffiness for centuries past, spread them over the landscape in a league's long, league's white blanket of 1 6-inch ply. Best reports on the depth of the snowfall place it at 16 inches "on the level." In some localities in the District there were drifts from three to four feet in depth. It is agreed that the precipitation was evenly distributed throughout this section. Measurements taken in Warren where better opportunity of accura cy prevailed because of the level stretches, and made by Supt. Wm. B. Gohring of Calumet & Arizona proved that the fall was approximately sixteen inches. ' . ' The Warren District was more amazed tha n stunned by this spectacular storm.- Old residents who had weathered many a blizzard fa irly gasped when they gazed out of doors. Former storms have been accompanied with greater cojd but none had ever heaped the snow so high in doorways, along 'sidewalks, over the roads' and, in fact, ever everything. As a matter of fact, the absence of anything approaching extreme cold was a comforting factor of the blizzard. As soon as the tail end of the storm departed shortly after daybreak with a scattering of feathery snow, and the air cleared to admit sunshine, the day was delightful from about waist high above the ground. From the waist down, however, it was tr. slushiest mnst traffir-naralvzinff samrjle of storm, in the historv of the District. To the army of toilers, the question upper most was how to get to work. To the legion of children in the District, it was a winter's fe te day such as the boys and girls never dreamed they would witness. Snowmen by the scor es were born in hundreds of yards. And who ever conceived the possibility of securing mat erial for six foot snowmen in the Warren District. Grownups, even, gave themselves over to this form of sport and several snow statues with stumpy arms and coal for eyes greeted the onlookers along Main street, Naco road. Brewer' Gulch and O. K. street. Throughout the morning there were many impromptu snowball battles in the business sections. There was time for such revels. Th ere was time for such revels because shoppers could not reach the markets of trade. . ,:The more serious aspects of the blizzard were treated with such good natured patience as the occasion demanded. Electric lights were out -of service for a time; telephone communication was crippled; telegraph wires were down in every direction and other similar inconveniences made themselves felt. The heroic work of crews and bosses on the Bisbee-Warren Street Railway saved the situation from what seemed an inevitable disaster. Residents of Warren and Upper Tombstone Canyon could scarcely believe their eyes when they saw the cars ploughing their way through the snow-encompassed thoroughfares. Warren workers with duties to perform in Bisbee reported much loss of time. This was also the case with Tombstone Canyon residents. Another surprising feature of the blizzard developments was the successful efforts of the mines to get their morning shift. Near ly 75 per cent of the men of the Copper Queen C & A, and Shattuck mines were on hand sho rtly after 9 o'clock. A deplorable result of the blizzard was the damage done to trees and shrubbery. The burden of snow brought down entire trees in some sections and everywhere the ground was strewn with broken branches. Splendid work on the part of crews employed by the Bisbee Improvement Company, the Mountain States Telephone Company, an d the Western Union Company prevented accident or death to persons who might have suffered from contact with broken wires. Another surprising development under the extraordinary conditions prevailing was the clearing of Main Street and Brewery Gulch. These thoroughfares were made passable within a comparatively short time following organization of the forces called upon to dig Bisbee out of the Blizzard. Douglas Troubles. Reports brought to Bisbee yesterday by Harry Raber, district wire chief of the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company indicate that, though there was a lighter fall of snow there than in Bisbee, the damage to certain interests was considerably greater. The telephone company, besides losing a great number of poles and wires between Bisbee and Douglas, suffered great loss in the latter city, itself. In the downtown district the snow broke the arms on the 'phone poles and in a number of instances, allowed cables, containing a large number of lines to go to the ground. It. is said that there is only eight inches of snow in the smelter town. Owing to a complete absence of communication little could be learned of other damage to the city. Local-'Pho ne Troubles. The telephone company was harder hit than any other organization in the District. About one-fourth of the total number of phones in the entire District were rendered useless by the wind, rain and snow. Manager Gunnison state yesterday that it would be fully two weeks before the entire system is fully repaired, though he hopes to give temporary service before that time. It is stated the loss of the company, including the loss to its long distance lines will approximate $1 0,000 in this section of the state. On all sides of Bisbee the 'phone communication has been entirely annulled. Over the divide the poles are down and approximately four feet of snow prevents linemen from getting to the seat of trouble. Between Douglas and Bisbee the same trouble exists. It is not gnown to what extent the line is hurt but that there will be considerable work and expense in repairing it is certain. (Continued on Page Tv. o.

The girl b- as beliig to "Fear God and take your own part." " Col. Roosevent said. "Surely it is just as good a motto for a notion as for a man.

The nation should, the colonel said, be prepared to take its own part. A country that cannot defend itself often Ls as fertile a source of evil as one which does wrong to others, he said, continuing: "Whatever may be the case in infinitely remote future, at present no people ran render very great service to humanity unless as a people they feel an intense sense of national cohesion and solidarity. The man who loves other nations as much as he does his own country stands on a par with a man who loves other women as much as he does his own wife.
